When Ashley Mateo went through a recent track workout, something felt different. She hit her intervals faster than usual, her heart rate was lower, and her feet felt lighter. Ms. Mateo, a journalist and 15-time marathoner who reviews running shoes, believes she may have improved her performance thanks to the Adizero Adios Pro Evo 1 by Adidas, a new marathon race shoe with an eye-popping $500 price tag. “I don’t think the shoe is going to work for everyone,” she said. Only 521 pairs have been released to the public so far, targeted at runners who can run a marathon in 3 hours 30 minutes or faster.

FEELING HOT HOT HOT This new release from Therabody provides localized heat therapy and massage directly on your knee, a proven technique for alleviating knee pain and improving range of motion. Massimo Alpian, 40, first turned to heat therapy in 2018 to deal with the tightness and spasms caused by a lingering hip injury. Plug-in heating pads and single-use adhesive heat patches helped the Boulder, Colo.-based communications director cope while waiting to schedule surgery. This fall, he purchased the Hyperice Venom Go, a reusable adhesive patch that warms up when connected to a rechargeable magnetic pod. Postsurgery, Mr. Alpian used the patch on his shoulders to relieve pressure from crutches and lower back pain from sitting.
